 Setanta Soprano Whistle - High D
 
Launched late 2018 the Setanta Soprano Irish Whistles range has taken the professional Irish whistle world by storm. 
Have a listen to the video to hear the superb tone and flexibility of this hand crafted brass whistle. Watch and listen to hear the different fipples and their various tones. 

Precision engineered with an excellent, vibrant full-bodied tone featuring superior tuning and responsiveness.
We provide a top-end product at an astonishingly affordable price.
Personalise your whistle with your own choice of fipple: 
1. The All Brass Head - providing the warmest tone. Has more mid-range frequencies and sounds particularly at home with the C whistle.
2. The Brass and Delrin Head - a little more balanced tone with a healthy smattering of high frequencies, providing more colour and body.
3. The Delrin Head - featuring the colour and body of the Brass & Delrin Head plus more high end frequencies. The result is a brighter tone more suited to cutting through in a session.

Reviews for the Setanta Soprano D Whistle
"For me it's perfect: just pure brass, very well made, heavy and solid in your hands but you get used immediately. I am used to professional wind instruments and this gives you the same nice feeling.
In my opinion the sound is gorgeous, it has a beautiful dark sweet tone, perfectly balanced in both two octaves, great volume without being too loud and very easy to play ... I wanted something sweeter and I found the perfect sound for me. I have tried many but this instrument is absolutely "The One" for me!" - Mirco L.
"Such a treat when the whistle arrived and I actually had a free morning to play it. Beautiful sound, secure feel to the playing quality - it feels very special, and I look forward to getting to know it more" - Laura B.
"This is a wonderful sounding whistle. It’s a pleasure to play." - David B

Great motivator! I'm new to playing the tin whistle and the cheap whistles can be somewhat lackluster in quality. So I bought this whistles and I'm blown away by the craftsmanship, the way it feels, and it looks beautiful. Id recommend this whistle to anyone that really wants to learn the whistle and sound great while doing it.

Smooth and Responsive I chose the all-brass heads for both a high D and a high C. They both play all the way to the top easily and with non-abrasive tone. Excellent.

I recently received a High D Setanta Soprano whistle as a much-desired birthday present. This is my first whistle, although I play various recorders and the clarinet. The whistle has been made to a very high spec. Absolutely pristine. It is clearly a highly precisioned instrument. Absolutely flawless. The whistle is in tune with itself throughout both Octaves and has a glorious tone. The notes of the second octave do not crack under air pressure. I checked the tuning against other wind instruments I own and it was spot on, no 'fiddling' required. The whistle plays effortlessly between both octaves, up and down the scales. It is a joy to play. As a plus, it came with a padded protective bag which you could slip onto a belt and it was very well protected in tissue paper and a plastic container, to protect it during posting. The finger holes of the whistle just sit nicely under your fingers. It is an easy playing, easy breathing instrument and as an additional plus, there is absolutely no clogging! It has had a lot of playing since I received it! I find that the tone of the instrument just sinks into your body. Absolutely glorious to play this instrument. I thoroughly recommend this whistle.

Heavier than many, but has the best tone, smooth and mellow while retaining a traditional metal sound.

Very good whistle Quick response, and sweet tone in the model I chose, with medium back pressure, suitable to my aging lungs. The C-natural has a non-standard fingering to stay in tune. No problem if you remember this.
